It had been a long 9 hours of travel. Defeated, exhausted and nervous I exited the plane. I had made significant strides to get here, *for the experience, for my career, for my future,* I kept telling myself – but in reality that wasn’t the case. I traveled across the world to spend time with him. A man I barely knew. Virtually a stranger with grayish blue eyes that had somehow completely taken over my mind and heart.
A ludicrous idea, that when said aloud would make anyone seriously question my judgment. Had any of my friends done anything like this I wouldn’t pause to call a doctor because it was clear they had lost their minds. But here I was. Mind lost, heart beating fast, pulse racing with nervousness and excitement.
Getting off a plane in Texas, the hot and humid air stuck to my skin. My hair began to curl as I felt beads of sweat begin to collect around my breasts. *Here goes nothing, there is no turning back*. I thought to myself as I found myself into a cab and off to the hotel.
